Anyone have any experience with these? I tried a 20122 ('57 Deluxe clone) the other day and let me tell you, there were some VERY tasty tones coming out of it. I'm wondering whether this (or other Victoria models) would be a wise route to go for a new amp.

First impressions:
- Wonderful build and sound quality
- Definitely quite pricy, but in this case I believe you get what you pay for
- The lifetime warranty speaks for itself. They clearly stand behind their products.

+1!

I share your impressions and it'll be one tough decision to make.

Arjay, that's a cool variation on the old saying I always knew.

The bitterness of poor quality lasts longer than the sweetness of low price.

of all of the amps I regret selling over the years my Victoria 20112 is the one I miss the most.

However i have a new 5E3 clone that sounds as good.

The victorias are fantastic, great build, awesome tone.

Simple old Fender design = Tone

Their 59 Bassman clones are very nice.

I really am lusting for the Victoria version of the tweed Super with 2x10s.
